Xr. E• Potty Dols of Art. 41. Z Potter, M.P , was present at the annual meeting of th e Carlisle School of Art on Friday night, and delivered an address upon the position and prospects of provincial schools of art He said the first school of art was opened ill Somerset House, and was purely for teaching drawing and designs of manufactures for perhaps some of the most ..W;ea,tithY ma nufacture s o f t h e country. He, in conjunction ;.: "U 8013a0 friend s of his own, went there and saw that it With a good system. They opened a school in Manchester, i.tile promise of some support , solely for the purpose of -"'"lng designs for manufacturing purposes. They con ducted that some years, but the manufacturers did not thank thn ,, via for what they did, and did not give them support. schools were started at fir.t with very handsome subscrip tion.. . 'i and about the Year 1842 a grant of some £lO,OOO, made " il G°7ernmnt, was distributed among the different scho Is. T hey tirnii first got £250 a year, on condition that they raised a beingar B aal they then got a larger grant—Manchester Singular a rather important place—of £430 or £5OO a year. 4. to state, the manufacturers of Manchester had ~I,l4ialshed their subscriptions to half that sum, so matte did the schools seem valued, They found no sup of arty for a school of design, and changed its name to a school e l) hart, which he believed was the right footing. The l c 00l established in London was transferred to Marl ilsorour.t, ~ bu Rouse. Still there clung the idea that they were t . t tlfed in behalf of the manufacturers. The ruanufac irera had not assisted them to any extent. The whole sum tailnbscrib6d by the manufacturers to the different schools t°llghout the country in 1862 did not reach £l,OOO a year ... a „,, pr—' he was afraid that in the centres of manufactures, in ration to their size, the schools had succeeded worse tt the YWhere else. It was admitted that it was no part of o d uty of Government to assist the manufacturers. His 411418 4 Was the Government had no right to assist any Ca sa 4.0 ex cept tho se w h o had not the means to find educe . 4,, .. tota -- tor the mselves. It might be desirable, however, in ile believed of schools, which could not be self-supporting. 40t h eved that thoroughly good drawing schools could -.a self- supporting, without Government aid. The xg aelloot a h. were transferred to South Kensington, and the t 7 e aro was established there first in 1854 or 1855. The L e ettt Plea for making so great an outlay was, that it would eetifor collecting samples for manufacturers. That mu ne: he should have to refer to as very closely con '. '4 Wi th the question of these schools. The mu -li, , '44 and the building at South Kensington had been ter y „„ 1 )5 4 1 `ll3ensive, and an immense amount of money had d antl ered upon them while the schools being weaker, had L&,„ eci „' (Rear, hear.) However, the training school "'GI Rensington had supplied first-class masters to At . t atcl a of ninety schools. That was a great step gained. in the sante time he thought the schools were entitled to °re t hanTh ftt the £20,000 a year they had been getting. so 41, littla included what was given to South Kensington, ... 4t , . tla re th 4 0 did not think the country schools received Ve ? ,, au £ 1 5,000 or £16,000 a year. The teaching was Atii-Joolgood, and they had got to that point when the % hi s r eight be established upon a sound basis, and be k t :, tigly valuable (Cheers.) The large mass of the tetti; e-st W . o thirds of the people—who had no means of of t , Rthis education were entitled to a much larger share et: grant than they had hitherto had, and it was the duty ' e rY one to try and aid them in getting it, (Cheers) AT AUKET IitO,VEY AND 110ZIMBIICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.I a id tne~ has been in greater demand this morning, te tt :" broke rs h ave b een ask i ng rather higher Plit e ; kr the negotiation of securities.

DISSOLUTION OF THE OFFICERS' MESS OF THE HADDINGTONSHIRE RIFLES.—A meeting of officers of the let Administrative Battalion of Haddingtonshiro Rifle Volunteers was held on Tuesday—Major Warrender presiding. The attention of the meeting was oalled to a letter from Lord Elcho, which appeared in the Hadciington Courier of 28th October last in reference to Volunteer officers' messes, and to that of the Haddington Rifle Volunteers in particular. The meeting consider that this letter has been written by Lord Elcbo in entire ignorance of the position of the Haddingtonshire Battalion, and that the recommendation of a general mess volunteered by his lordship is altogether uncalled for and quite inapplicable ; and as any expression of opinion on the part of Lord Elcho deservedly carries great weight, the meeting regret that his lordship had not previously better informed himself of the position of this battalion, and communicated with the officers, before ad dressing the letter to the Reuldington Courier. The follow, ing resolution was moved by Captain Scott That the meeting strongly consider that an officers' mess, constituted as that of the Haddingtonshire Battalion, has been of great benefit to the regiment, as it enabled officers belonging to the scattered corps of the Administrative Battalion to meet together for the consideration of questions connected with the general discipline of the battalion, and the improve ment of mutual acquaintance ; and that it is an error to suppose that the officers of the Haddingtonshire Rifles do not associate with the members of their corps, as it has been the constant practice of officers and privates to meet together in social gatherings at their own head quarters. Tho meeting, however, seeing the unanimous opinion of the public press, as led by Lord Elcho's letter, that such a mess is a mistake, resolve, in deference to that opinion, to dissolve the mess. This resolution was seconded by Ensign Dods, and unanimously carried. SHARE This day. SOCIETY. ORDINARY SHARES AND 5T0C,11.9, Railway o. Closing Business Price. i done. 13.14. Mr., Wol., and Sir.

The annual meeting of the members was held in Exeter Hall this day—Viscount Ranelagh presiding. 11r GRUNBISEN, the secretary, having read the adver tisement convening the meeting, the noble chairman read the following report : The twelfth financial year of the Conservative Land Society having been completed on the 30th of September, 1861, it is now the Pleasing duty of the executive committ ee to report to the s h are h olders a summary of the year's suc cessful operations, and to lay before them the balance-sheet and statement of accounts. At the last quarterly meeting on the 4th of October, the members elected the ltev. W. G. Goodchild, rector of East Tilbury, and Mr Clemow, secre tary of the English and Swedish Bank, as their auditors, and the board having nominated Messrs W. C. Astbnry and N. Winstanley, the four auditors on the 2d, 3d, and 4th of November, met and verified the vouchers and books, and signed the balance sheet. The subjoined table will show the shares issued, and total cash receipts for the respective quarters of the year 1863-4, and the grand totals since the commencement of the society in September, 1852 Qrs. ending Receipts.

After the routine business of the annual meeting (this day), there will be a drawing of 100 share numbers, to be placed on the register of rights, to select plots on the society's estates, at the option of the holders thereof, and 50 share numbers will be taken from the seni ority list (date of membership), and be also added to the order of rights. On reference to the balance sheet, it will seen by the members that the subscriptions on shares dur ing the year 1863-4 amounted to £35,155 13s, and that the cash received in the deposit department amounted to £13,609 9s 10d. The withdrawals on shares were £12,130 lls 3d, and on deposits £13,473 2s 4d. The total balance of sub scriptions on shares was £128,946 12e Id, and the balance of deposits at the close of the financial y.ar was £24,415 15s 2d. During the last year the sum of £15,562 lOs 7d was withdrawn from the share account to pay for plots of land, being an increase of £10,411 17s 9d compared with last year. The repayments of loans on land amounted to £11,907 6s 4d. The amount advanced for the same year to allottees, towards the purchase money of their plots, was £19,912 lOs 2d. The total balance of advance to allottees on land account was £36,142 4s 2d. As regards the sale of land in the allotments of 1863.4, the balance sheet shows an amount of £15,087 Gs Bd, being an increase of £10,799 163 7d compared with last year's sales. The sale of the stock in hand (being land previously allotted), and by pri vate contract, was £22,342 188 9d, the total sale for the year being £38,430 Os sd, bringing up the grand totals of the sale of land to Michaelmas, 1864, to £368,800 13s 10d. The freehold building plots in various counties now for sale amount to £71,118 13s Od. As regards the advances for building during the pest year, the repayments were £10,909 8s 2d, an increase of £3,655 17s 4d. The amount advanced for building, &c., in 1864, has been £13,569 13s 4d, leaving the total balance of advances for building, &c., £15,825 5s 6d. The reserve fund has been brought up to £ll,OOO. After providing for the interest of 5 per cent, per annum on shares, and 4 per cent, per annum on deposits, the balance sheet shows an available balance out of which the execu • tive committee are enabled, as provided by the rules, to add to the accounts of members (in their pass-books) bolding uncompleted invested shares in respect of which no interest has been paid, a bonus, or, in other words, interest at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, and on those shares on which interest warrants have been issued, an additional half per cent, per annum, which will be included in the half yearly interest warrants pay,ble on the let of May next. Thus every payment into the society on shares not in arrear, and on the register at the annual meeting, will realise 51 per cent, per annum for the year ending the 30th of Sept., 1864, As regards the interest on completed shares and shares in progress, paid a year in advance and upwards, for which the half yearly warrants up to Lady-day and Michaelmas are issued on the Ist of May and the Ist of November re spectively, the rate will remain at 5 per cent, per annum, and at 4 per cent, per annum on investments in Om daponit department, under rule 45, until further notice. The ordi nary quarterly meetings were duly held at the offices in Norfolk-street, on the 12th of April, the sth of July, and the 4th of October. The following members of the execu tive committee retire by rotation, but are eligible for re election, viz,, the Earl of Bective, M.P., the Hon. Robert Bourke, Col. Augustus Meyriek, Sir Lawrence Palk, Bart., M.P., Newnham Winstanley, Esq. The new estates al lotted this year were the Colchester (final portion) and the Bishop Stortford, on the 16th of March; the Plough-lane, Battersea (first and second portions), on the 10th of April and the 22d of June; and the Avenue estate, Southampton, on the 20th of July, In addition to the highly successful sale of land on the new properties, re-allotments have taken place of estates purchased at former periods, namely. the Kentish Town estate, on account of the railway of the Tottenham and Kentish Town Company now in progress through the society's property; the Ipswich estate, close to the station, offering additional land to the intending purchasers. and the Wanstead estat9, owing to the sale of the mansion. An agreement has been entered into with South-coast and Brighton Railway Company, for the new line, to be carried on to Kemp Town, to pass through the Round Hill Park estate, whereby the society's property will be greatly improved. During the past year the holders of rights had the opportunity of investing in house property, villas and houses being offered for sale on the St Margaret's estate, Isleworth , the Ifiley-road, Oxford; the Rouud Hill Park estate, Brighton; Enfield estate, close to the station; Putney estate, Wandsworth -lane ; Old Ford ; Roman-road, Hackney, &c. On the estates just enumerated some first class villas and convenient houses, either for letting or for sale, are now for disposal to the general public. Notices of applications for bills in the next Parliament for new rail road schemes have been published, which will tend mate rially to develop some of the society's estates. Three new estates have Navy vrealbeenrecently a cquired by the society ; namely, ethsteyard at Deal, in East Kent, the Southgate-road estate, Wood-geen, in Middlesex, and the Sunnyside estate, Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. These highly eligible properties will be submitted for sale in due course, all the three localities being particularly well adapted for building purposes. The opening of the new Iron Pier on the Bth November last, with a pier-head where steamers can be moored alongside in any state of the tide, and other great local improvements,:have already caused a demand for building sites; and the esplanade of the Navy Yard, together with a fine frontage on the Dover-road, will present opportunities for the erection of large hotels, man sions and houses, now so much in requisition in Deal, The Isle of Wight estate, from its c ommanding situation and the increasing growth of Sandown as a bathing place, especially since the opening of the, New Eastern Section Railway from Hyde. which will:eventually co mmunicate with Cowes, will prove to be a most eligible building property. The Wood Green estate being close to the station, and to the Alexandra Park, as well as to the Green Lanes of Hornsey, and being within a quarter of an hour's railway ride from the metropolis, bids fair to be in great demand for building. The board will allot on Wednesday,_ tie° litie of January, 1865, the WoodOreen estate No. 2, Southgate-road, and on the same day the remaining portion of the Felixtowe estate. The proposed formation of a railway to this last-mentioned fast rising watering place, together with the sales pre• viously effected, promise a speedy disposal of this eligible property, The registration returns have been generally satisfactory, and the freehold franchise through the society's instrumentality has been m uc h extended. The past year has been remarkable for the sale of land on the early estates acquired by the society, which has thus been enabled to close the acoounts of some of these proper ties. In addition to this development, the new allotments having sold so well, the executive committee have been enabled to bring the financial year of 1863-4 to a successful termination, and the thirteenth year has been entered upon with very encouraging prospects. The executive committee, in recording that the Conserva tive Land Society has acquired 55 estates in 21 counties— that the sale of land has been nearly .6369,000 —that 21,228 £5O shares have been issued, representing £ 1 ,061,400, and that the reserve fund new amounts to £ll,OOO, will, they trust, have supplied sufficient evidence, that no exertions have been spared to secure the prosperity of the society, and it will be their endeavour to extend its political, social, and commercial advantages. (The meeting had not concluded when we went to press.) GREECE AND MExicu.—The Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Emperor of Mexico to Turkey and Greece, M. Martinez del Rio, had an audi ence of the King of the Hellencs at Athens, ou the 20th inbt., to present his credentials. In reply to the Minister's speech the young King, af er some complimentary phrases, said :—" Myself. the head of a new dynasty, and charged with the destinies of a people for their regeneration, I can • not but have great sympathy for a new sovereign and for a nation which, like the Greek nation, have had to pass through painful crises in order to conquer the place they should rightfully occupy among civilised nations. It is therefore with perfect sincerity that I express my wish for the happiness of his Imperial Majesty and for that of his august family, for the prosperity of his reign, and for the progress of his people," The following highly humorous description of a genuine Irish shindy or skrimmage we transfer to our columns from those of our cheap pictorial con temporary, the Penny Illustrated, The hand that wrote it, or we are marvellously in error, is surely no other than that of Ralph Neville. For the life like truth and racy fun of the sketch—lightly, even carelessly, pencilled though it is—it seems to us not unworthy in both particulars, that is, in the fun and in the truth of it, as a literary photograph of Irish life, it seems to as, we say, not unworthy of the author of " Lloyd Pennant ": Arriving at the village of —, some two hours before Bianconi's car passed through on its route for Clonmel, I sauntered about in search of amusement during the interval. A crowd assembled round a modest-looking house, at the end of the main street, attracted my attention ; a policeman told me it was "Petty Sessions" day, and invited me to enter the court. Being anxious to witness the local admi nistration of justice in Ireland, of which I had heard and read much, I availed myself of the invitation, and took my seat amongst the spectators. The chair was filled by a portly, rubicund personage, and with him sat a " stipen diary'' (who used an ear -trumpet), and two others. As I entered, the clerk, having recorded the judgment pronounced in a previous case, cried, " Timothy Nolan against Barney Brannan." There was a buzz of excitement in the court, which subsided into a dead silence as the parties pro ceeded from their respective positions to the front of the judicial seat. Tim Nowlan (the complainant), his head enveloped in bandages, rose slowly, and, leaning on the arm of his spouse, advanced with difficulty, as if his injuries were even more serious than they appeared to be; and they were followed by Paddy Phelan, their witness, an old, peaceable looking farmer, who, as a - mark of respect, was accommodated with a chair. Barney Brannan, or "Boulteen,"* as he was nicknamed, casting a half-smile, half-grin on the auditory, as if to say, "Now I'm in for it,' f also came to the post, and he was attended by a small wiry looking cur dog, which all his threats and all his wife's efforts could not restrain from sharing the fortunes of his master. The little brute burst from the grasp of Mrs Bran nan (who did not accompany her liege lord to the tribunal) and ensconced himself at Barney's feet, plainly indicating, by the expression of his physiognomy, that he was ready to take a turn with any adversary in his owner's defence. Both parties made a profound obeisance when they came in front of the Bench, and then, Barney Brannan, placing his shil lelagh under his left arm, stood proudly erect, with his hands behind his back, an attitude which he rigorously maintained until called upon for his defence. He responded to the accusations of his adversary occasionally by a bland smile, and sometimes by a knowing wink at their worships. "State your complaint, sir," said the chairman to the wounded man. " Ah, thin it's myself that's not able to say anything, yer honours," replied Tim (delivering his answer with ex treme difficulty, and gasping for breath between every word): "I'm fairly ruined by that villain ; he didn't lave as much blood in my body—saving your honours' presence as id feed a hungry midge," "Well, come, how did it happen, sir ?" "How did it happen ? By gorra, it happened no how at all, barring ' The Boulteen' comin' roarin' drunk into my house whin I was quiet with my pipe, and kissin' my wife and murtherin' myself, when I tould him to behave decent av he could, That's all, Nelly can tell yer the rest better nor I can ; for I'm not able to say any more." And Tim threw himself on Nelly's shoulder, as if completely ex hausted. " Well, Mr Brannan," observed the chairman, with great dignity, "I'm sorry to see you here again so soon, sir." "Thank yer Honour, I know'd that, long life to you." " What have you to say in answer to this charge, sir ?" Barney planted one end of his sapling cn the floor, and leaning with both hands on the other, he bent forward with great gravity and decorum before he answered—" Ye all know me, gintlemin, egg and bird, man and boy, for gene rations, except the stipendiary; and sure my uncle's son is his Honour's right hand man; an' I defy the world to say I iver did anything mean, ye see, or my fathers afore me." " Well, tell us all you know about the matter," cried the deaf magistrate, who appeared nervously attentive to the proceedings, and occasionally blew into the ear-piece of a gutta percha trumpet. "It is very extraordinary," he remarked to the chairman, "it's very extraordinary, I had this trumpet from town yesterday, could hear perfectly with it last night, and find it quite useless to day. It must have been left too near the fire : it really does me more harm than good. " Well, yer Honours, it's an ould story." " We have nothing to do with old stories," interrupted the justice. " Tell us, sir, why you beat the complainant." " Five years agone, comp Michaelmas next," resumed Barney, "Tim Nowlan and myself had a piece of Conacte oats in co., and when the reaping time came we cast lots; I got the right-hand side, and becourse Tim got the left, Then, ye see, we agreed to reap in co., and I won the toss for the first cut, and my part was housed and stooked that same day ; it was the fair eve of Boulahy ; but I had no more notion of goin' there the next day than the child unborn. I was sittin' quiet at home, when in comes a boy of the Feeneys, to say that they were to beat the Sullivana and take the town from them to-morror, and that they'd want the 20 swap men they lent us (the Brannans) to beat the Mullanys at the fair of Ballyhawnish. I cant go, sis I, for I have Tim Nowlan'a oats to reap, and the wind's getting strong and it'll be shed. No faction has a right to borrow men, says he, if they dont intend to pay them back ; but I'm thinkin', sis he, that ye're afeard to meet The Whang* that's to lead the Sullivans (The Whang, yer honours, is Nelly Nowlan's own brother). Well, sis I, to the devil with the oats ; no one ever had it to say that I didnt pay men or money when I could, and I dont care a thraneen for any Sullivan that ever stepped in shoe leather." " Ohl d'ye hear him ?" ejaculated Nelly. " It's little business three like ye id have to stand before The Whang,' av he got fair play. ' " Well, I wint," continued Barney, " to the fair, and ' The Whang,' an I met—and the world knows that I didn't get the worst iv id. From that day to this Nelly Nowlan's against me; an it's not bekese the oats was de stroyed by the storm, but bekese I bet her brother, Well, ye see, I went into the election the other day with Father Mick—and well treated we were, no doubt ; and comin' home does I meet his Riverence. ' Well,' says he, Boni teen, I forgive ye all ye ever did to me, ye behaved so well to-day. Ye're a real patriot, Here's a shilling to drink my health " Oh, ye villain l" interposed Nelly ; " Father Mick wouldn't look the side iv the road ye travelled, Didn't he give ye the curse iv God last Sunday, for yer tricks ? And didn't he promise the congregation that if that wasn't able for you, he'd give you his own curse next Sunday? And in troth, av he does, ye'll be trotting about the Moat of Mallow in a little black dog to the day iv Judgment I" " Hould yer tongue woman I" cried Barney, not at all relishing the threat. " Father Mick 'II do me no harm, I tell yes. Well, ye see, gintlemin, I was in great humour, seein' I had the priest on my side, and says I to myself, as I passed Tim Nowlan's house, " I'll go in, an' make up with them, and be at pace with the world.' In I goes in, an' bid them the time of day, and sat on the bed, beside Nelly, and lit me pipe. Batty,' this little animal (pointing to the dog), the best bit of flesh on earth, Master Charley (ad dressing the youngest justice) ; yer Honour recollects the day he buckled the big water-day? (Well, yer Honour needn't laugh, now ; for, on my sowl, ye might put him to sleep in a partridge's nest, and the divil an egg he'd touch) —well, ye see, by course, Butty followed me in, an' wint to warm himself at the fire; and whatever came between him self and the pig in the corner I don't know, but they up and at 'other in the middle iv the floor, and there was a rigular ruction. I lifted my legs out iv the way, and laid my hand on Nelly's shoulders to hinder myself from fallin into the bed, when she gives me a rap on the lug, I jumped up. Tim made a whack at Butty, and knocked him down. I made a blow at the pig, and Tim's head came between my stick and her back. ' Whooh I' says he, spitting on the handle of his stick. Whooh I' says I, doin the same. We at 'other ; and I wasn't gettin the worst iv id, when that decent man (pointing to Paddy Phelan) came in and sun dorod us." "Now, sir," said the stipendiary, " what did Butty say when he was knocked down ?" " The diva a word, yer Honour," roared Tim, at the top of his voice. "What did he do, then ?" " The poor fellow found Nowlan's heel in his mouth, and he bit it." " A most barbarous method of fighting," rejoined the stipendiary, addressing Phelan, the witness. " You ought to be ashamed of yourself." " I had nothing to do with it," replied Paddy, mildly. " Then where is Butty P hasn't he been summoned ?" " He's there, yer Honour," shouted Nclly (pointing to the dog and his master)"—" but 'twas Boulteen did all the harm," "Oh I I see," said the stipendiary, again addressing Phelan; "he's Butty, and you're Boulteen, You should have been the defendant instead of Brannan," "I saved Nowlan, yer Honour." "I was able to save myself," cried Tim (now completely recovered from his exhaustion) ; " there never was a Bran. nan able to handle me. I'll tight Boulteen for the whole matter this minute, ye see, if their Honours 'ill let me." " A - bargain, by gorra I" exclaimed Barney; and the two men shook each other's hands most violently, in token of agreement, while the court rung with laughter. "There's no knowing how to decide On such contradic tory evidence," remarked the stipendiary magistrate ; "and as the men seem dispos3cl to make it up. and have shaken hands, let there be peace, and an end of it." " Shall lit .be settled as Mr - suggests r asked the chairman of his colleague. " I have no objection," was the reply. "Now; Mr Brannan," remarked the chairman, with great severity of manner, "you were clearly drunk, and I'll fine you five shillings. You're of an honest family, but you're * "Boulteen" is the Irish name of the light staff of the flail which strikes the corn in threshing. t `` Whangt , is the leather thong used to tie the brogues of the peasantry, FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 28.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Holroyd.) MPORTANT QUESTIDN OF JURISDICTION UNDER THE INSOLVENCY AND BANKRUPT ACE. IN RE Mr E. Reed appeared in support of a summons calling upon a person, a clergyman of the Church of England, and who was insolvent in 1845, to bo examined and show cause why he had not paid certain instalments arising out of a perpetual curbcy held by the insolvent. Mr Sargood objected to the jurisdiction of the court to examine an insolvent after he had obtained his final order of discharge, Mr Reed submitted that the Court had, unquestionably, a power to examine, having full jurisdiction even to thesx ten t of rescinding the final order. Mr Sargood mould only take the case now on the point as to whether the Court had jurisdiction in this case. The final order was granted immediately in August 1845--pro position to set aside a portion of the property being deli-. berately struck out by the Court—yet the insolvent paid £450 to his creditors. His Honour decided that the Court had jurisdiction, but that the insolvent ought to have special notice as to the points on which he would be examined. The case was then adjourned till the 19th of January at two. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. PARISH PROSECUTION OF BROTHEL KEEPERS IN OX ENDON.STREET.—Ann Gale, of 31, Addison-road, Kensing ton-road, and Sarah Payne, of 5, James-street, Haymar ket, were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt on a warrant with keeping a brothel at 16, Oxendon-street. A gentleman from the office of Mr Dangerfield. vestry clerk of St. Martin's, appeared for the prosecution, which was instituted by the parochial authorities, and Mr Sawyer, from the office of Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough street, appeared for the prisoners. Inspector Walker, C D &vision, proved apprehending Gale at 31, Addison-road, and Payne at 16, Oxendon-street, both being charged with keeping a brothel at the latter address. Sergeant George Appleton, 26 C, slid he knew the pH loners as the keepers of the house in Osendon-steeet, and as the persons named in the warrant. The gentleman from the vestry clerk's office said the house was a very bad one. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial, consent.. ing, on the application of Mr Sage, to take bail for the prisoners, themselves in £BO each, and two in £4O for each, CURIOUS CASE.—Charles Gordon, described as "a pot man, no home," was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being a suspected person, and loitering in Glasshouse-street, Regent -street, for the purpose of committing a felony. Dankersby, 117 C, said that at a quarter to one that morning he saw the prisoner loitering in Glasshouse -street, neat a hoarding. He asked the prisoner what he was doing, and he replied, "Nothing." Not feeling satisfied with this answer ho took the prisoner to the station, when he said that he had been concerned with some others in two burglaries which had recently been committed, one of them in Glasshouse-street, on the morning of the 11th. As there had been a burglary at a public-house in the street, on the morning of the 11th, he wished for a remand to Dinka in quiries. The prisoner said the other two men had gone to Bir mingham and left him penniless. Mr Tyr whitt remanded the prisoner. THAMES. DRUNKENNESS AMONG MARRIED WOMEN.—The first five charges heard this morning by Mr Paget were those of drunkenness. The offenders were : Sarah / Cummins, with her street-door key in one hand and market-basket in the other, hired a cab last night, and when she alighted, she had no money to pay her fare, and was again taken up and driven to the station-house. She said she was a respectable married woman, on which Mr Paget observed that it was anything but respectable for a married woman to be riding in a cab drunk instead of being at home. As she had paid her fare, he would dis charge her. Mrs Richard Finn, the wife of a boarding-house keeper in Old Gravel-lane, St. G eorge - in - the-East, was charged by Thimberley, a police-constable, No. 119 K, with being drunk and disorderly. The officer stated that the prisoner's husband had been once sentenced to six months' imprison. meat and hard lab, ur by Mr Woolrych for beating a woman, and held to bail to keep the peace towards his wife for 12 months. The prisoner annoyed and provoked her husband, and he turned her out of doors to prevent a for feiture of his recognisance.. Mrs Finn was fined ss, which she paid. The next was a shocking case. Mary Ann Power, with an infant in her arms, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Flint street, Poplar, last night. She was making a great disturbance, and threw her child into the road. It would have perished but for the humanity of Floyd, a police constable, No. 441 K, who took the child to the workhouse and its inhuman mother to the station-house, She stated in her defence that her sister had been on a visit and treated her. Mr Paget said the pri soner's conduct was most reprehensible, and she was not fit to be entrusted with an infant. He discharged her. Ellen Fenton, apparently a person well off, w as drunk and disorderly last night in High - street. She said she had u.e.Ouoovau-I+vuovcV lIJOK rut` - hlFlniband and missed him. Mr Paget remanded the prisoner for inquiries to be made about her.
